#29 of 86 Voltmeter fluctuates on 924 by ddijamco Feb 25, 2008 (10:10 pm)
On my 1977 Porsche, sometimes the voltmeter needle goes all the way to the right and the all the light becomes very bright. I took the car to an automotive store to have the alternator tested and I was told that the alternator is charging ok. What could be the problem?

Replying to: ddijamco (Feb 25, 2008 10:10 pm) It sounds to me like the Voltage regulator has failed or is failing. This CAN cause the alternator to overcharge. This can be a bad thing as it can damage your battery. It shouldn't be too expensive. It's external from the alternator (I believe) in the older Porsches.

My husband just put a deposit on a 2007 Porsche Carrera S with 4305 miles.... Can anyone out there let me know whether $97,495 seems to be a good deal or not? Replies to this message: porschetech911 (Mar 16, 2008 4:16 pm)

Replying to: thomasst (Mar 01, 2008 6:34 am) For a 911 as new as that yes, that is a reasonable price. You could maybe get it about a thousand less because of the miles, but your doin good. Enjoy the car. Any problems feel free to email me with questions!
#34 of 86 Replacing the front carpeting of a 1985 944 by pitboss29 Mar 17, 2008 (1:33 pm)
I have recently begun the lovely and exciting idea (what the hell was I thinking) of restoring my 1985 944. Everything has gone pretty well until I have just recently hit a spot that I am stuck. I am removing all of my carpeting and replacing with new. now all of it is out except the very front where the driver and passenger legs go this seems to be a major pain in the *%#. I would greatly appreciate anybody who could help and if possible step by step instructions for this removal and install. Thanks, pitboss29 Replies to this message: porschetech911 (Mar 17, 2008 10:53 pm) todd82ta (Mar 18, 2008 4:40 am)

Replying to: pitboss29 (Mar 17, 2008 1:33 pm) Hi Pitboss! You'll need to remove the dash. I know, it sounds like a huge pain in the ass, but there's almost nothing to the Porsche 944, even the 85.5+ models. There are a couple of 10mm bolts holding it down under the dash, and then near the tops under the dash. I think it's five 10mm bolts all together. I don't believe your 85.5 (does it have the new interior?) uses a speedometer cable, but if it does, you just need to remove that. Everything else should be able to lift up. You can then access the carpeting. It's easier to re-install the carpet this way too.

Replying to: cejr3 (Jul 14, 2008 2:47 am) Yeah, there is a cruise module located under the hood, just in front of the battery on the passenger side. This sometimes goes bad. The only thing you can do really is just replace it. The 944 doesn't use any computer control for the crusie control, it's just a motor style module that connects in the engine bay.
